so i found out that duolingo being in offline mode yesterday means the lesson i completed didn’t count. so i’ve lost the streak that i’ve had going since MID-JANUARY.
and there’s nobody to contact about this as their “bug” email address doesn’t reply to individuals.

If you know anyone in London, please tell them there's also an Edinburgh Minute for London with the imaginative title: The London Minute: londonminute.substack.com
There are now 5,000+ subscribers to The London Minute free (and ad-free) daily newsletter of links to local news and community updates. It’s all grown through word of mouth since May last year, so thanks to everyone who's shared it with pals, colleagues, classmates and neighbours.
